CMULead — Qatar
Leadership Development for Staff Members at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar
In January 2024, CMU-Q launched a pilot of the CMULead program. This initiative, designed to cultivate leadership skills among staff members, closely aligns with the domestic CMULead program in its goals, desired outcomes and nomination criteria.
Through a blend of engaging virtual and in-person sessions, participants will delve into a diverse range of leadership topics, equipping them with valuable knowledge and practical tools. The program culminates in a celebratory graduation ceremony in April 2024.
